example, you see a coat in a magazine ad and want to find the nearest retail outlet to

buy it. If the ad contains a readable barcode, the NeoReader™ application uses this

code to access mobile web content, such as a web page with more product information

or a map of nearby outlets. NeoReader™ supports most standard barcode types.

1From the Home screen, tap .

2Find and tap NeoReader™.

To scan a barcode

1When the NeoReader™ application is open, hold the phone's camera over the

barcode until the complete barcode is visible in the viewfinder.

2The phone automatically scans the barcode, and vibrates when the barcode is

recognized.

Some bar codes might be too small to scan.
